Dear CanadaVisa, does anyone know of any reason that a US citizen could not keep their US job and work remotely while living in Canada with Canadian PR?
Assuming of course that the employer is agreeable and that residency requirements are met. It would involve a lot of cross-border travel, at least a couple times a month.
Everything I read about this seems focused on it being a workaround for US work visas. But in this case my wife is already a US citizen whose work is just not terribly portable to Canada where we want to cohabitate (I’m Canadian).
I know there are workarounds like a POE or working as an independent contractor. But her work’s HR office is not that sophisticated and she’s already a W2 employee. And so far I haven’t seen anything that would suggest she would be running afoul of PR restrictions by maintaining the status quo but I may not be looking in the right places.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
